Hello,
Code works fine. But i was just wondering why the last line of code won't run. (commented line). I Can 't figure it out. Maybe something to do with type conversion? I have no clue, so i have decided to ask the pros :)

Here's the code:


        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            int firstNumber = 0, secondNumber = 0, thirdNumber = 0, fourthNumber = 0, tmp = 0;

            Console.WriteLine( "Enter a number: \n1:");
            firstNumber = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            Console.WriteLine( "\n2:");
            secondNumber = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            Console.WriteLine( "\n3:");
            thirdNumber = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            Console.WriteLine( "\n4:");
            fourthNumber = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            Console.WriteLine( "You entered: {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", firstNumber, secondNumber, thirdNumber, fourthNumber );
            Console.WriteLine( "The product of: {0} * {1} * {2} * {3} = {4}", firstNumber, secondNumber, thirdNumber, fourthNumber, firstNumber * secondNumber * thirdNumber * fourthNumber );
            //Console.WriteLine( "{0} * {2} = {3}", firstNumber, secondNumber, firstNumber * secondNumber);



This is the line of code i don't understand why it won't execute:
//Console.WriteLine( "{0} * {2} = {3}", firstNumber, secondNumber, firstNumber * secondNumber);



Thx

Hi there,

Take a look at this:

Console.WriteLine( "{0} * {2} = {3}", firstNumber, secondNumber, firstNumber * secondNumber);

As you can see, you have added the parameters for 0, 2 and 3, but you're only supplying three parameters in the list of your output. The numbers you're putting between {} should have a matching parameter. In this case, the highest number is 3 (zero based), so you should pass 4 parameters you want to write to the console. I think this is what you're after:

Console.WriteLine( "{0} * {1} = {2}", firstNumber, secondNumber, firstNumber * secondNumber);

Cheers,

Imar
